About Us

Premier Loving Care opened for business in downtown Shelbyville, Indiana in September of 2011

Our mission is to make your life as a pet-owner just a tiny bit easier.

We believe that all animals have a right to be treated with respect and deserve to be treated with love as well.

Give your pet a little PLC!

Our Employees

Ashley Haus – Groomer

A Shelbyville local, Ashley learned to groom here, by completing the PLC Groomer Training Program. Time has flown since she graduated, and it is hard to believe she has been grooming professionally with more than 3 years already! Her sweet nature and calm demeanor puts the puppies at ease very quickly. Your fur-baby will enjoy its spa day with Ashley!!

Jenny Mattysse – Groomer

Jenny has over 13 years professional grooming experience – almost 4 of those years at Premier Loving Care (so far) – and the dogs respond to her experience! Calm in every situation, loving and gentle, your baby is in good hands with Jenny!

Kelsey Piercy – Groomer

Another Shelbyville local – Kelsey has been an amazing part of our grooming family since 2015 🙂 The love and patience she uses in her daily life raising her children really shows when she is working with the fur-babies here! You will love the results and your fur-baby will love their spa day with Kelsey!

Kandise Lock – Shop Manager

Originally hired to “just bathe dogs”, Kandi has become a pivotal part of the group here at PLC. Organized, efficient, and cheerful – she keeps things moving smoothly and safely – even during the extremely busy check-in periods of our day.

Emily Coats – Front Desk

You can usually find Emily clerking at the Front Desk, but she also helps out wherever help is needed. Sometimes that means distracting a wiggly dog, or giving a dog a bath, or taking pictures of some of the amazing cuteness, or sweeping up some of the endless supply of hair. Whatever the task, Emily approaches it with a smile.

Our Owners

If you’ve stopped in to visit – you may also have met:

Nathan Speth and Lydia “Dee Dee” Edwards – Owners

With over 20 years experience in business management, most of that time in the fields of information technology, customer service, animal care and retail management, Dee Dee is the driving force behind the company. However, she can’t fool the dogs into thinking she’s there for any reason other than loving on them!! If you drive by the shop, you’ll often catch her “goofing off” in the front window with a furry client.

If Dee Dee is the driving force, Nathan is the steering wheel. With over a decade of experience in administration, accounting, animal care and management, Nathan has had all the tools he has needed to help guide Premier Loving Care through our growth over the past 7 years. While many have lamented over his “retirement” from grooming here, having his guidance has allowed the company to grow in ways that will help ensure Premier Loving Care will be around to take care of Shelby County’s pets for generations.
